Sidney Harman and Bernard Kardon invented the receiver, a single component designed
to simplify home entertainment without compromising performance. Over the years,
Harman Kardon products have become easier to use while offering more features and
sounding better than ever.
The AVR 1650 has been designed for use with 120-volt alternating current (AC). The
AVR 165 has been designed for use with 220 – 240-volt AC. Connection to a line voltage
other than that for which your AVR is intended can create a safety and fire hazard, and
may damage the unit. If you have any questions about the voltage requirements for your
specific model or about the line voltage in your area, contact your selling dealer before
plugging the unit into a wall outlet.
The AVR 1650 and AVR165 5.1-channel digital audio/video receivers (AVRs) continue
this tradition with some of the most advanced audio and video processing capabilities
yet and a wealth of listening and viewing options.
Do Not Use Extension Cords
To avoid safety hazards, use only the power cord supplied with your unit. We do not
recommend that extension cords be used with this product.As with all electrical devices,

Introduction to Home Theater
and Place Your Speakers
AVR 1650/AVR 165
Introduction to Home Theater
Place Your Speakers
This introductory section will help you to familiarize yourself with some basic concepts
unique to multichannel surround-sound AVRs, which will make it easier for you to set
up and operate your AVR.
Determine the locations for your system’s speakers according to their manufacturer’s
directions and the layout of your listening room. Use the illustration below as a guide for
5.1-channel systems.
To create the most realistic surround-sound environment possible, you should place
your speakers in a circle with the listening position at its center. You should angle each
speaker so it directly faces the listening position. Use the diagram below as a guide.
Typical Home Theater System
A home theater typically includes an audio/video receiver (AVR), which controls
the system and supplies amplification for the loudspeakers; a disc player; a source
component for television broadcasts (cable box, satellite dish AVR, HDTV tuner or
antenna connected to the TV); a TV or video display; and multiple loudspeakers.

Multichannel Audio
The main benefit of a home theater system is its ability to produce “surround sound.”
Surround sound uses multiple speakers and amplifier channels to immerse you in the
audio/video presentation for a dramatically increased sense of realism.
Your AVR can have up to five main speakers connected directly to it, plus a subwoofer.
Each main speaker is powered by its own amplifier channel inside the AVR. A system
with more than two speakers is called a multichannel system. The different main
speaker types in a home theater system are:
SL
SR
• Front Left and Right: The front left and right speakers are used as in a 2-channel
system. In many surround-sound modes, these speakers are secondary, while the
main action, especially dialogue, is reproduced by the center speaker.
• Center: When you are watching movies and television programs, the center speaker
reproduces most of the dialogue and other soundtrack information that occurs on the
screen, anchoring it with the picture. When you are listening to a musical program, the
center speaker helps to create a seamless front soundstage, creating a more realistic
“you-are-there” listening experience.
Placing the Left, Center and Right Speakers
Place the center speaker either on top of, below or mounted on the wall above or below
the TV or video-display screen. Place the front left and right speakers along the circle,
about 30 degrees from the center speaker and angled toward the listener.
• Surround Left and Right: The surround left and right speakers produce ambient
sounds that help create a realistic and immersive surround-sound environment. They
also help recreate directional sound effects such as aircraft flyovers.
Place the front left, front right and center speakers at the same height, preferably at
about the same height as the listener’s ears.The center speaker should be no more than
2 feet (0.6m) above or below the left/right speakers. If you’re using only two speakers
with your AVR, place them in the front left and front right positions.
Many people expect the surround speakers to play as loudly as the front speakers.
Although you will calibrate all of the speakers in your system to sound equally loud
at the listening position, most artists use the surround speakers for ambient effects
only, and they create their programs to steer relatively little sound to these speakers.
Placing the Surround Speakers
• Subwoofer: A subwoofer is designed to play only the lowest frequencies (the deep
bass). It augments smaller, limited-range main speakers that are usually used for
the other channels. Many digital-format programs, such as movies recorded in Dolby
Digital, contain a low-frequency effects (LFE) channel that is directed to the subwoofer.
The LFE channel packs the punch of a rumbling train or airplane, or the power of an
explosion, adding realism and excitement to your home theater. Some people use two
subwoofers for additional power and for even distribution of the sound.
You should place the left and right surround speakers approximately 110 degrees from
the center speaker, slightly behind and angled toward the listener. Alternatively, you can
place them behind the listener, with each surround speaker facing the opposite-side
front speaker. You should place the surround speakers 2 feet – 6 feet (0.6m – 1.8m)
higher than the listener’s ears.
NOTE: Your AVR will sound its best when the same model or brand of
loudspeaker is used for all positions.
Surround Modes
There are different theories as to the best way to present surround sound and to distribute
the individual channel information to the surround-sound system’s speakers. A variety
of algorithms have been developed in an effort to recreate the way we hear sounds in
the real world, resulting in a rich variety of options. Several companies have developed
different surround-sound technologies, all of which can be accurately reproduced by
your AVR:
Placing the Subwoofer
Because a room’s shape and volume can have a dramatic effect on a subwoofer’s
performance, it is best to experiment with placement so that you will find the location
that produces the best results in your particular listening room. With that in mind, these
rules will help you get started:
• Dolby Laboratories: Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital EX,
Dolby Pro Logic II.
• Placing the subwoofer next to a wall generally will increase the amount of bass in
the room.
• DTS: DTS-HD™ High Resolution Audio, DTS-HD Master Audio™, DTS, DTS 96/24™.
• HARMAN International: Logic 7, HARMAN virtual speaker, HARMAN headphone.
• Stereo Modes: 2-channel stereo and 5-channel stereo.
• Placing the subwoofer in a corner generally will maximize the amount of bass in the
room.
• In many rooms, placing the subwoofer along the same plane as the left and right
speakers can produce the best integration between the sound of the subwoofer and
that of the left and right speakers.
Appendix Table A9, on page 31, contains detailed explanations of the different surround-
sound options available on your AVR. Digital surround-sound modes, such as Dolby
Digital and DTS systems, are available only with specially encoded programs, such
as those available via HDTV, DVD and Blu-ray Disc media and digital cable or satellite
television. Other surround modes may be used with digital and analog signals to create
a different surround presentation or to use a different number of speakers. Surround-
mode selection depends upon the number of speakers in your system, the programs you
are watching or listening to, and your personal tastes.
• In some rooms, the best performance could even result from placing the subwoofer
behind the listening position.
A good way to determine the best location for the subwoofer is by temporarily placing
it in the listening position and playing music with strong bass content. Move around
to various locations in the room while the system is playing (putting your ears where
the subwoofer would be placed), and listen until you find the location where the bass
performance is best. Place the subwoofer in that location.

Types of Home Theater System Connections
The subwoofer is a speaker dedicated to reproducing only the low (bass) frequencies,
which require more power. To obtain the best results, most speaker manufacturers offer
powered subwoofers that contain their own amplifiers. Use a single RCA audio cable
(not included) to make a line-level (non-amplified) connection from the AVR’s Subwoofer
connector to a corresponding input jack on the subwoofer.
There are different types of audio and video connections used to connect the AVR to your
speakers, your TV or video display, and your source devices. The Consumer Electronics
Association has established the CEA® color-coding standard.

Audio and video signals originate in source devices (components where a playback
signal originates) such as your Blu-ray Disc or DVD player, CD player, DVR (digital video
recorder) or other recorder, tape deck, game console, cable or satellite television tuner,
iPod or iPhone (docked in an optional The Bridge IIIP docking station) or MP3 player. The
AVR’s FM/AM tuner also counts as a source, even though no external connectors are
needed other than the AVR’s FM and AM antennas. Separate connectors are required
for the audio and video portions of the source device’s signal, except for digital HDMI
connectors. The types of connectors you use will depend upon the capabilities of the
source device and of your TV or video display.

Speaker Connections
Speaker cables carry an amplified signal from the AVR’s speaker terminals to each
loudspeaker. Each cable contains two wire conductors, or leads, that are differentiated
in some way, such as with colors or stripes.
Digital Audio Connections – HDMI
There are two types of audio connections – digital and analog. Digital audio signals are
required for listening to sources encoded with digital surround modes, such as Dolby
Digital and DTS, or for uncompressed PCM digital audio. Your AVR has three types of
digital audio connectors: HDMI, coaxial and optical. Do not use more than one type of
digital audio connector for each source device. However, it’s okay to make both analog
and digital audio connections to the same source.
The differentiation helps you maintain proper polarity, without which your system’s low-
frequency performance can suffer. Each speaker is connected to the AVR’s speaker-
output terminals using two wires, one positive (+) and one negative (–). Always connect
the positive terminal on the speaker, which is usually colored red, to the positive terminal
on the AVR, which is colored as indicated in the Connection Color Guide Table, above.The
negative terminals on the speakers and the AVR are black.
Your AVR is equipped with four rear-panel HDMI input connectors and one HDMI monitor
output connector. HDMI technology enables digital audio and video information to be
carried using a single cable, delivering the highest quality picture and sound. If your TV
or video-display device has an HDMI input connector, make a single HDMI connection
from each source device to the AVR. Usually, a separate digital audio connection is not
required.
Your AVR uses binding-post speaker terminals that can accept bare-wire cables or
banana plugs. Bare-wire cables are installed as shown below:
The AVR’s HDMI Monitor Output connector contains an Audio Return Channel (ARC) that
carries a digital audio signal from your TV or video display back to the AVR. It allows
you to listen to HDMI devices that are connected directly to your TV (such as an Internet
connection) without making an additional connection from the device to the AVR. The
ARC signal is active when the TV source is selected. See System Setup, on page 23, for
more information.
The HDMI connector is shaped for easy plug-in (see illustration, below), and HDMI cable
runs are limited to about 10 feet (3m). If your video display has a DVI input and is
HDCP-compliant, use an HDMI-to-DVI adapter (not included), and make a separate audio
connection.
1. Unscrew Cap
2. Insert Bare Wire
3. Tighten Cap
Banana plugs are inserted into the hole in the middle of the terminal cap, as shown
below:
A. Tighten Cap
B. Insert Banana Connector
into Hole in Cap
Digital Audio Connections – Coaxial
Always connect the colored (+) terminal on the AVR to the (+) terminal on the speaker
(usually red), and the black (–) terminal on the AVR to the (–) terminal on the speaker
(usually black).
Coaxial digital audio jacks are usually color-coded orange. Although they look like
standard RCA-type analog jacks, you should not connect coaxial digital audio outputs to
analog inputs or vice versa.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the ( + ) and ( – ) bare wires do not touch each other or
the other terminal. Touching wires can cause a short circuit that can damage your
AVR or amplifier.

AVR 1650/AVR 165
Digital Audio Connections – Optical
Analog Video Connections – Component Video
Optical digital audio connectors are normally covered by a shutter to protect them from
dust. The shutter opens as the cable is inserted. Optical input connectors are color-
coded using a black shutter, while optical outputs use a gray shutter.
Component video separates the video signal into three components – one luminance
(“Y”) and two sub-sampled color signals (“Pb” and “Pr”) – that are transmitted using
three separate cables that are color-coded green (Y), blue (Pb) and red (Pr). Component
video cables that join three separate green, blue and red connectors into a single cable
are sold separately.
Analog Audio Connections
Two-channel analog connections require a stereo audio cable, with one connector for
the left channel (white) and one for the right channel (red). These two connectors are
attached to each other.
If your TV or video display has an HDMI connector, we recommend it for the best quality
connection.Your AVR converts component analog video input signals to the HDMI format,
upscaling them to high-definition 1080p resolution.
Radio Connections
Your AVR uses separate terminals for the included FM and AM antennas.The FM antenna
uses a 75-ohm F-connector.
For source devices that have both digital and analog audio outputs, you may make both
connections.
The analog connections also feed the Analog Record Output connectors. You may record
materials from Blu-ray Disc recordings, DVDs or other copy-protected sources using
only analog connections. Remember to comply with all copyright laws if you choose to
make a copy for your own personal use.
The AM antenna connector uses spring-clip terminals. After assembling the antenna
as shown below, press the levers to open the connectors, insert the bare wires into
the openings, and release the levers to secure the wires. The antenna wires are not
polarized, so you can insert either wire into either connector.
The Bridge IIIP Connection
Your AVR includes a proprietary, dedicated connector for a The Bridge IIIP docking station
(available separately) for the iPod or iPhone.
USB Port
The USB port on your AVR is used for firmware upgrades. If an upgrade for the AVR’s
operating system is released in the future, you will be able to download it to the AVR
using this port. Complete instructions will be provided at that time.
Video Connections
Many source devices output both audio and video signals (e.g., Blu-ray Disc, DVD
player, cable television box, HDTV tuner, satellite box, VCR, DVR). In addition to an audio
connection as described above, make a video connection for each of these source
devices. Make only one type of video connection for each device.
Digital Video Connections
IMPORTANT: Do not connect a PC or other USB host/controller to the AVR’s USB
port, or you may damage both the AVR and the other device.
If you have already connected a source device to one of the AVR’s HDMI input connectors,
you have automatically made a video connection for that device, since the HDMI cable
carries both digital audio and digital video signals.
Analog Video Connections – Composite Video
Your AVR uses two types of analog video connections: composite video and component
video.
Composite video is the basic connection most commonly available.Both the chrominance
(color) and the luminance (intensity) components of the video signal are transmitted
using a single cable. The jack is usually color-coded yellow and looks like an analog
audio jack. Do not connect a composite video jack to an analog audio or coaxial digital
audio jack, or vice versa.

Source devices are components where a playback signal originates, such as a
Blu-ray Disc or DVD player, or a cable, satellite or HDTV tuner. Your AVR has several
different types of input connectors for your audio and video source devices: HDMI,
component video, composite video, optical digital audio, coaxial digital audio and analog
audio. The connectors are labeled for the types of source devices you are most likely
to connect.
SL
SR
Each of your AVR’s source buttons is assigned to an HDMI connector or an analog audio
input connector (listed in the “AVR Source Button/Analog Audio Connector” column of
the table below). To provide you flexibility for connecting and configuring your system,
we have designed the AVR so that you can assign the digital audio inputs to any of the
video AVR sources.
Connect Your Subwoofer
Use a single RCA audio cable to connect the AVR’s Subwoofer Pre-Out connector to your
subwoofer. Consult your subwoofer’s user manual for specific information about making
connections to it.
As you connect your various source components, fill out the “Source Device Connected”

Optical digital audio devices
If any of your source devices have HDMI connectors, using those connectors will provide
the best possible video and audio performance quality. Since the HDMI cable carries
both digital video and digital audio signals, you do not have to make any additional audio
connections for devices you connect via HDMI cables, although you can assign one of
the digital audio connectors to one of the HDMI inputs.
If your source devices have optical digital outputs, connect them to the AVR’s Optical
Digital Audio connectors. NOTE: Make only one type of digital connection (HDMI, optical
or coaxial) from each device.

c) If you run out of code numbers for a device, you can search through all of the codes
in the remote’s library for devices of its type by pressing the Up or Down button
repeatedly until the device turns off. When it does, press the Source Selector button
to save the code.
Set Up the Remote Control
5. Check that other functions control the device correctly. Sometimes manufacturers
use the same Power code for several models, while other function codes vary. Repeat
this process until you’ve programmed a satisfactory code set that operates most of
the device’s functions.
Install the Batteries in the Remote Control
Remove the remote control’s battery cover, insert the three supplied AAA batteries as
shown in the illustration, and replace the battery cover.
6. If you searched through the remote’s code library to find the code, you can find
out which code number you have programmed by pressing and holding the Source
Selector button to re-enter the Programming Mode. Then press the remote’s OK
button, and the Program Indicator LED will flash in the code sequence. One flash
represents “1,” two flashes represent “2,” and so forth. A series of quick flashes
represents “0.” Record the code number programmed for each device in Table A7 in
the Appendix.
Repeat Steps 3 – 6 for each source device you want to control with the AVR remote.
In general, the label for each button on the remote describes the button’s function when
used to control the AVR. However, the button may perform a very different function when
used to control another device. Refer to the Remote Control Function List, Table A10 in
the Appendix, for each button’s functions with the various product types.
You can also program the remote to perform Macros (preprogrammed code sequences
that execute many code commands with a single button press) and “punch-through”
programming (allowing the remote to operate a device’s channel or transport controls
when the remote is in another device’s mode). See Advanced Remote Control
Programming, on page 24, for instructions on these functions.
NOTE: Remove the protective plastic from the AVR’s front panel to keep it from reducing
the remote control’s effectiveness.

Operating Your AVR
Listening to FM and AM Radio
Select the AM/FM source. Use the Tuning Up/Down buttons to tune a station, which will
be shown on the front-panel display and the TV screen.
Operating Your AVR
Now that you have installed your components and completed a basic configuration, you
are ready to begin enjoying your home theater system.
The AVR defaults to automatic tuning, meaning each press of the Tuning Up/Down
buttons scans until a station with acceptable signal strength is found. To switch to
manual tuning, in which each press of a Tuning button steps through a single frequency
increment, press the Tuning Mode button. Each press of the Tuning Mode button toggles
between the automatic and manual tuning modes.
Controlling the Volume
Adjust the volume either by turning the front-panel Volume knob (clockwise to increase
volume or counterclockwise to decrease volume) or by pressing the Volume Up/Down
buttons on the remote. The volume is displayed as a negative number of decibels (dB)
below the 0dB reference point.
Once you have tuned an FM station, toggling the Tuning Mode setting also switches the
radio between stereo and monaural reception. (Mono reception may improve reception
of weaker stations.)
0dB is the maximum recommended volume for your AVR. Although it’s possible to turn
the volume to a higher level, doing so may damage your hearing and your speakers. For
certain more dynamic audio materials, even 0dB may be too high, allowing for damage
to equipment. Use caution with regard to volume levels.
Preset Stations
A total of 30 stations (AM and FM combined) may be stored as presets.When the desired
station has been tuned in, press the Memory button on the remote, and two dashes will
flash on the front-panel Message display. Use the Number buttons to enter the desired
preset number.
Muting the Sound
To mute all speakers and the headphones, press the Mute button on the remote. Any
recording in progress will not be affected. The MUTE message will appear in the front-
panel display as a reminder. To restore the sound, press the Mute button again, or adjust
the volume.
To tune a preset station, press the Preset Up/Down buttons or enter the preset number
using the Number buttons.
Listening to an iPod/iPhone Device
Listening Through Headphones
When The Bridge IIIP is connected to its proprietary input on the AVR, and an iPod or
iPhone is docked, you may play the audio materials on your iPod or iPhone through your
high-quality audio/video system, operate the iPod or iPhone using the AVR remote or
the AVR’s front-panel controls, view navigation messages on the AVR’s front panel or a
connected video display, and charge the iPod or iPhone.
Plug the 1/4-inch stereo plug on a pair of headphones into the front-panel Phones
jack for private listening. The default Headphone Bypass mode delivers a conventional
2-channel signal to the headphones. Press the Surround Modes button on the front
panel or use the remote and OSD to switch to HARMAN headphone virtual surround
processing, which emulates a 5.1-channel speaker system. No other surround modes
are available for the headphones.

Analog Audio Signals
Analog audio signals usually consist of two channels – left and right. Your AVR offers two
options for analog playback:
BACK TO MASTER MENU
DSP Surround Off Mode: The DSP Surround Off mode digitizes the incoming signal and
applies the bass-management settings, including speaker configuration, delay times
and output levels. Select this mode when your front speakers are small, limited-range
satellites and you are using a subwoofer. To select this mode, use a digital audio input or
turn the Tone Control setting off, then select 2 CH Stereo mode.
Use the Up/Down and OK buttons to select the desired surround-mode category.
Auto Select: For a digital program, such as a movie recorded with a Dolby Digital or DTS
soundtrack, the AVR will automatically use the soundtrack’s native surround format. For
2-channel analog and PCM programs, the AVR uses the Logic 7 Movie, Logic 7 Music or
Logic 7 Game mode, depending on the source.
Analog Surround Modes: Your AVR is able to process 2-channel audio signals to
produce multichannel surround sound, even when no surround sound has been encoded
in the recording. Among the available modes are the Dolby Pro Logic II, HARMAN virtual
speaker, Logic 7 and 5 CH Stereo modes. To select one of these modes, see Selecting a
Surround Mode, on page 20.
Virtual Surround: When only two main speakers are present in the system, you can
use HARMAN virtual surround to create an enhanced sound field that virtualizes the
missing speakers.
Stereo: When you want 2-channel playback, select the number of speakers you want
to use for playback:
Digital Audio Signals
Digital audio signals offer greater flexibility and capacity than analog signals and allow
the encoding of discrete channel information directly into the signal. The result is
improved sound quality and startling directionality, since each channel’s information is
transmitted discretely. High-resolution recordings sound extraordinarily distortion-free,
especially in the high frequencies.
• “2 CH Stereo” uses two speakers.
• “5 CH Stereo” plays the left-channel signal through the front left and surround left
speakers, the right-channel signal through the front right and surround right speakers,
and a summed mono signal through the center speaker.
Movie: Select from the following when you want a surround mode for movie playback:
Logic 7 Movie or Dolby Pro Logic II Movie.
Surround Modes
Surround-mode selection depends upon the format of the incoming audio signal as well
as your personal taste. Although there is never a time when all of the AVR’s surround
modes are available, there is usually a wide variety of modes available for a given
input. Table A9 in the Appendix, on page 31, offers a brief description of each mode and
indicates the types of incoming signals or digital bitstreams the mode may be used with.
Additional information about the Dolby and DTS modes is available on the companies’
Music: Select from the following when you want a surround mode for music playback:
Logic 7 Music or Dolby Pro Logic II Music. The Dolby Pro Logic II Music mode provides
some additional settings. See Audio Processing and Surround Sound, on page 20, for
more information.
Video Game: Select from the following when you want a surround mode for game
playback: Logic 7 Game or Dolby Pro Logic II Game.
When in doubt, check the jacket of your disc for more information on which surround
modes are available. Usually, nonessential sections of the disc, such as trailers, extra
materials or the disc menu, are available only in Dolby Digital 2.0 (2-channel) or PCM
2-channel mode. If the main title is playing and the display shows one of these surround
modes, look for an audio or language setup section in the disc’s menu. Also, make sure
your disc player’s audio output is set to the original bitstream rather than 2-channel
PCM. Stop play and check the player’s output setting.
After you select the surround-mode category, the Mode menu will appear:

AVR will downmix the discrete surround back-channel information in 6.1-channel and
7.1-channel recordings into your system’s surround left and surround right channels.)
When you select Dolby Pro Logic II as the music surround mode, additional adjustments
become available:
When the AVR receives a digital bitstream, it detects the encoding method and the
number of channels, which is displayed briefly as three numbers, separated by slashes
(e.g., “3/2/.1”).

The first number indicates the number of front channels in the signal: “1” represents
a monophonic recording (usually an older program that has been digitally remastered
or, more rarely, a modern program for which the director has chosen mono as a special
effect). “2” indicates the presence of the left and right channels but no center channel.
“3” indicates that all three front channels (left, right and center) are present.

BACK TO MASTER MENU
Center Width: This setting affects how vocals sound through the three front speakers.
A lower number focuses the vocal information tightly on the center channel. Higher
numbers (up to 7) broaden the vocal soundstage. Use the Left/Right buttons to adjust
this setting.
The second number indicates whether any surround channels are present:“0” indicates
that no surround information is present. “1” indicates that a matrixed surround signal
is present. “2” indicates discrete surround left and right channels. (Bitstreams with
discrete surround back left and right channel signals will be indicated by a “4,” although
the AVR downmixes the surround back-channel information into the surround left and
right channels.)
Dimension: This setting affects the depth of the surround presentation, allowing you to
“move” the sound toward the front or rear of the room. The setting of “0” is a neutral
default. Setting “F-3” moves the sound toward the front of the room, while setting “R-3”
moves the sound toward the rear. Use the Left/Right buttons to adjust it.
The third number is used for the LFE channel: “0” indicates no LFE channel. “.1”
indicates that an LFE channel is present.
Panorama: With the Panorama mode turned on, some of the sound from the front
speakers is moved to the surround speakers, creating an enveloping “wraparound”
effect. Each press of the OK button toggles the setting On or Off.
Dolby Digital 2.0 signals may include a Dolby Surround flag indicating DS-ON or DS-OFF,
depending on whether the 2-channel bitstream contains only stereo information or a
downmix of a multichannel program that can be decoded by the AVR’s Dolby Pro Logic
decoder. By default, these signals are played in Dolby Pro Logic II Movie mode.
Manual Speaker Setup
When a PCM signal is received, the PCM message and the sampling rate (32kHz,
44.1kHz, 48kHz or 96kHz) will appear.
Your AVR is flexible and may be configured to work with most speakers and to
compensate for the acoustic characteristics of your room.
When only two channels – left and right – are present, the analog surround modes
may be used to decode the signal into multiple channels. If you would prefer a different
surround format than the native signal’s digital encoding, press the Surround Modes
button to display the Surround Modes menu (see Selecting a Surround Mode, on page
20).
The EzSet/EQ process automatically detects the capabilities of each connected speaker
and optimizes the AVR’s performance with your speakers. If you are unable to run EzSet/
EQ calibration, or if you wish to set up your AVR for your speakers manually, use the
Manual Speaker Setup on-screen menus.
Before beginning, place your loudspeakers as explained in the Place Your Speakers
section, on page 10, and connect them to the AVR. Consult the owner’s guide for the
speakers or the manufacturer’sWeb site for their frequency-range specification.Although
you may set the AVR’s individual channel levels “by ear,” an SPL (sound-pressure level)
meter purchased at a local electronics store will provide greater accuracy.
The Auto Select option sets the surround mode to the native signal’s digital encoding,
e.g., Dolby Digital, DTS, Dolby TrueHD or DTS-HD Master Audio. For analog 2-channel
materials, the AVR defaults to the Logic 7 Movie mode. For Dolby Digital 2.0 programs,
the AVR defaults to the Dolby Pro Logic II Movie mode, which creates a 5.1-channel
surround-sound presentation from the 2-channel program. If you prefer a different
surround mode, select the surround-mode category: Virtual Surround, Stereo, Movie,
Music or Video Game. Press the OK button to change the mode.
Record your configuration settings in Tables A4 and A6 in the Appendix for easy re-entry
after a system reset or after the AVR’s Master Power switch has been turned off or the
unit has been unplugged for more than four weeks.
Each surround-mode category is set to a default surround mode:
• Virtual Surround: HARMAN virtual speaker.
• Stereo: 5-CH Stereo.
Step One – Determine Your Speakers’ Crossover Frequencies
Without using the EzSet/EQ process, the AVR can’t detect how many speakers
you’ve connected to it; nor can it determine their capabilities. Consult the technical
specifications for all of your speakers and locate the frequency response, usually given
as a range, e.g., 100Hz – 20kHz ( 3dB). Write down the lowest frequency that each
of your speakers is capable of playing (100Hz in the above example) as the crossover
in Table A6 in the Appendix. NOTE: This frequency is not the same as the crossover
frequency listed in the speaker’s specifications.
• Movie: Logic 7 Movie.
• Music: Logic 7 Music.
• Video Game: Logic 7 Game.
You may select a different mode for each category. Below is a complete list of available
surround modes. (The actual surround modes available will depend on the number of
speakers in your system.)
For the subwoofer, write down the transducer size. The AVR’s bass management
determines which speakers will be used to play back the low-frequency (bass) portion
of the source program. Sending the lowest notes to small satellite speakers will result
in bad sound and may even damage the speakers. The highest notes may not be heard
at all through the subwoofer.
• Virtual Surround: HARMAN virtual speaker.
• Stereo: 2-CH Stereo or 5-CH Stereo.
With proper bass management, the AVR divides the source signal at a crossover point.
All information above that crossover point is played through your system’s speakers,
and all information below the crossover point is played through the subwoofer. This way,
each loudspeaker in your system will perform at its best, delivering a more powerful and
enjoyable sound experience.
• Movie: Logic 7 Movie, Dolby Pro Logic II Movie.
• Music: Logic 7 Music, Dolby Pro Logic II Music.
• Video Game: Logic 7 Game, Dolby Pro Logic II Game.
Once you have programmed the surround mode for each type of audio, select the
line from the Surround Modes menu to override the AVR’s automatic surround-mode
selection.The AVR will use the same surround mode the next time the source is selected.
Please refer to Table A9 in the Appendix for more information on which surround modes
are available with different bitstreams.

Step Two – Measure the Speaker Distances
For each speaker group, select one of these eight crossover frequencies: LARGE, 40Hz,
60Hz, 80Hz, 100Hz, 120Hz, 150Hz or 200Hz. If the speaker’s crossover frequency is
below 40Hz, select the first option, LARGE. This setting doesn’t refer to the speaker’s
physical size but to its frequency response, which is also called “full range.”
Ideally, all of your speakers would be placed in a circle, with the listening position at the
center. However, you may have had to place some speakers a little farther away from the
listening position than others. Sounds that are supposed to arrive simultaneously from
different speakers may blur, due to different arrival times.
Specify the size of the subwoofer’s transducer as 8, 10, 12 or 15 inches. The AVR always
sets the subwoofer crossover to 100Hz but uses the transducer size for equalization.
Your AVR provides a Distance adjustment that compensates for these real-world
speaker-placement differences.
Write down the settings in Table A6 in the Appendix.
When you have finished entering the settings, select Back To Manual Setup.
Sub Mode
Measure the distance from each speaker to the listening position, and write it down
in Table A4 in the Appendix. Even if all of your speakers are the same distance from
the listening position, enter your speaker distances as described in Set the Speaker
Distances, on this page.
After you return to the Manual Setup menu, navigate to the Sub Mode line and press
the OK button to display the Sub Mode menu. This setting depends upon the Crossover
setting you selected for the front left and right speakers.
Step Three – Manual Setup Menu
Now you are ready to program the AVR. Sit in your usual listening position, and make the
room as quiet as possible.
• If you set the front speakers to a numeric crossover frequency, the subwoofer setting
will always be SUB.All low-frequency information will always be sent to the subwoofer.
If you don’t have a subwoofer, either upgrade to full-range front left and right speakers
or add a subwoofer at the earliest opportunity.
With the AVR and video display turned on, press the OSD button to display the menu
system and select Manual Setup. The Manual Setup menu will appear:
• If you set the front speakers to LARGE, select one of the three following settings for
the subwoofer:
* MANUAL SETUP *

L/R+LFE: This setting sends all low-frequency information to the subwoofer, including
a) information that would normally be played through the front left and right speakers
and b) the special low-frequency effects (LFE) channel information.
OFF: Select this setting when no subwoofer is in use. All low-frequency information
will be sent to the front left and right speakers.
BACK TO MASTER MENU
NOTE: All of the speaker setup submenus include a “Back to…” option. To save the
current settings, select the Back to… option.
LFE: This setting plays low-frequency information contained in the left and right
program channels through the front left and right speakers, and directs only the LFE-
channel information to the subwoofer.
For best results, adjust the submenus in this order: Number of Speakers, Crossover, Sub
Mode, Distance and Level Adjust.
When you have finished entering the settings, select Back To Manual Setup.
Number of Speakers
Set the Speaker Distances
This selection lets you program the correct setting for each speaker group. The settings
in this menu affect the remainder of the speaker-setup process and the availability of
various surround modes at any time.
As described above in Step Two, when you measured the distances from each of your
speakers to the listening position, your AVR provides an adjustment that compensates
for the different distances so that the sound from each speaker will reach the listening
position at the proper time. This process will improve the clarity and detail of the sound.
Select ON when the speakers are present in the system; select OFF for positions where
no speakers are installed. The Front Left & Right setting is always ON and may not be
disabled.
After you return to the Manual Setup menu, navigate to the Distance line and press the

Step Four – Setting Channel Output Levels Manually
• For multichannel music recordings, some music producers will create a sound field
that places the musicians all around you; others will create a sound field that places
the musicians in front of you, with more subtle ambience in the surround speakers (as
you would experience in a concert hall).
For a conventional stereo AVR, a simple balance control adjusts the stereo imaging by
varying the relative loudness of the left and right channels. In a home theater system
with up to seven main channels plus a subwoofer, achieving proper imaging becomes
both more critical and more complex. The goal is to ensure that each channel is heard
at the listening position with equal loudness (when signals of equal loudness are played
through them).
• In most 5.1-channel film soundtracks, the surround speakers are not intended to be
as loud or as active as the front speakers. Adjusting the surround speakers so they are
always as loud as the front speakers could make dialogue difficult to understand and
will make some sound effects sound unrealistically loud.
Your AVR’s EzSet/EQ calibration can handle this critical task for you simply and
automatically. However, the AVR’s Adjust Speaker Levels menu allows you to calibrate
the levels manually, either using the system’s built-in test tone or while playing source
material.
Notes on Setting Subwoofer Volume:
• Sometimes the ideal subwoofer volume setting for music is too loud for films, while
the ideal setting for films is too quiet for music. When setting the subwoofer volume,
listen to both music and films with strong bass content and find a “middle ground”
volume level that works for both.
After you return to the Manual Setup menu, navigate to the Level Adjust line and press
the OK button to display the Level Adjust menu.
• If your subwoofer always seems too loud or too quiet, you may want to place it in a
different location. Placing the subwoofer in a corner will always tend to increase its
bass output, while placing it away from any walls or corners will always tend to lessen
its bass output.

OK button to display the System Setup menu.
BACK TO MANUAL SETUP
All of the system’s speakers will appear with their current level settings. You can adjust
each speaker’s level between –10dB and +10dB in 1dB increments.
VFD Fade Time Out: Some people find the brightness of the AVR’s front-panel display
distracting during movies or listening sessions. It’s possible to dim the front-panel
display completely using the remote’s Display Dimmer button (see System Remote
Control Functions, on pages 8 and 9). The VFD Fade Time Out sets the display to remain
dark most of the time, lighting up only when a button is pressed or a remote command
is received, and going dark again five seconds after the last command. The feature also
causes the display to light up only when a button is pressed but the display immediately
begins to fade to dark. This setting allows you to program the length of the fade time.
Select a time-out period of between three and ten seconds, or select Off if you prefer to
leave the displays on at all times or to use the Display Dimmer button.
While making adjustments, you can measure the channel levels in one of these ways:
• Preferably, use a handheld SPL meter set to the C-weighting, slow scale. Adjust each
speaker so that the meter reads 75dB when the AVR’s built-in test noise is playing.
• By ear. Adjust the levels so that the test tone sounds equally loud to you when it plays
through each speaker.
To set your levels using the AVR’s internal test tone, select the menu’s Test Tone Seq
line and use the Left/Right buttons to select between Auto and Manual. After selecting
Auto or Manual, move the cursor to the Test Tone line and use the Left/Right buttons to
change the setting to On.
Volume Default and Default Volume Set: These two settings are used together to
program the volume level when you turn on the AVR. Set Volume Default to On, and then
set the Default Volume Set to the desired turn-on volume. When Volume Default is set
to Off, the AVR will turn on at the last-used volume setting from the previous listening
session.
Auto: The test tone will automatically circulate to all speakers, as indicated by the
highlight bar. Use the Left/Right buttons to adjust the level for any speaker when the
test tone is paused there. Use the Up/Down buttons to move the cursor to another line,
and the test tone will follow the cursor. To stop the test tone, use the Up/Down buttons
to move the cursor out of the screen’s speaker-listings area.
HDMI Audio To TV: This setting determines whether HDMI audio signals are passed
through the HDMI Monitor Out connector to the video display. In normal operation, leave
this setting at Off, as audio will be played through the AVR.To use the TV by itself, without
the home theater system, turn this setting to On. In this case, you will need to mute the
TV’s speakers (or switch the setting to Off) when using the AVR for audio.
Manual: The test tone will stay on the current speaker until you use the Up/Down
buttons to move it to another speaker. Use the Left/Right buttons to adjust the level for
the speaker through which the test tone is playing.
Semi OSD Time Out: Program the amount of time (2 to 5 seconds) the two-line semi-
OSD status messages remain on screen, or deactivate the semi-OSD display altogether
if you find it distracting. These messages will continue to appear on the front panel of
the AVR.
If you are using an external source to set your output levels, set Test Tone to Off, use the
Up/Down buttons to navigate to each speaker, and use the Left/Right buttons to adjust
the speaker’s level while the source plays. NOTE: If you are using a handheld SPL meter
with external source material, such as a test disc or an audio selection, play it and
adjust the AVR’s master volume control until the meter measures 75dB. Then adjust the
individual speaker levels.
Full OSD Time Out: Program the amount of time (20, 30, 40 or 50 seconds) the full OSD
menus remain visible on screen. The full OSD system may not be deactivated. NOTE: It
isn’t possible to view video sources while the full OSD menus are displayed.
Channel Reset: To reset all channel levels to their factory defaults of 0dB, select this line
and press the Left/Right buttons.
HDMI Link: This setting allows the communication of control information among the
HDMI devices in your system. Turn this setting to On to allow control communication
among the HDMI devices; turn the setting to Off to forbid control communication.
When you have finished adjusting the speaker levels, record the settings in Table A6 in
the Appendix. Then select the Back to Manual Setup option in the OSD.
HDMI ARC: Selecting On will send audio from the TV to the AVR via the HDMI Audio
Return Channel (ARC) connection (which is in the HDMI cable connecting the AVR to the
TV). This way, whenever you’re watching a source that is connected directly to your TV
(such as an Internet connection), you can listen to the sound through the AVR. NOTE:This
setting is available only when HDMI Link is set to On.
Notes on Setting Speaker Volumes in Home Theater Systems:
While setting your system’s individual speaker volume levels is ultimately up to your
personal taste, here are some ideas you may find helpful:
• For films and video-music programs, your overall goal should be to create an
enveloping, realistic sound field that draws you into the film or music program without
drawing your attention away from the action on the screen.

Remote Channel-Control Punch-Through
Two-channel analog and digital audio signals, as well as composite video signals, are
normally available at the appropriate recording output connectors. To make a recording,
connect your audio or video recorder to the appropriate AVR output connectors as
described in the Making Connections section, insert blank media in the recorder and
make sure the recorder is turned on and recording while the source is playing. Refer to
the recording device’s instructions for complete information about making recordings.
The punch-through feature allows you to operate one component while setting certain
groups of controls to operate another component. For example, while using the AVR
controls for surround modes and other audio functions, you may also use the remote
to operate the transport controls of your Blu-ray Disc player. Or while using the remote
to control video functions on your TV, you may also use the remote to change channels
on your cable box.

SLEEP OFF setting disables the sleep timer.
To undo punch-through programming, follow the same steps as above, but press the
same Source Selector button in Steps 1 and 3.
When the sleep timer has been set, the front-panel display will automatically dim to
half brightness.
You may reassign the transport-control punch-through programming for the AVR, VID2
and VID3 devices to another device, such as a CD player. If you wish to remove transport-
control punch-through altogether for the AVR, VID2 or VID3 device, follow the same
procedure as for programming punch-through, but in Step 3 press either of the other
two of these three special selector buttons. For example, to remove transport-control
punch-through from the VID3 device so that pressing any of the transport controls will
have no effect, press and hold the VID3 Button until the Program Indicator LED flashes,
then press the Play Button, followed by either the AVR or VID2 Button.
If you press the Sleep button after the timer has been set, the remaining play time will
be displayed. Press the Sleep button again to change the play time.
Resetting the Remote
To reset the remote to its factory-default condition, simultaneously press and hold any
Source Selector button and the “0” Number button. When the Program Indicator LED
flashes amber, enter the code “333.” When the green LED goes out, the remote control
will be reset.
Programming Macro Commands
Each of the AVR remote’s four Macro buttons and the Power On button (see System
Remote Control Functions, on pages 8 and 9) can be programmed to send out up to
19 commands at one time from a single button push. Any AVR remote control button’s
function from any mode (except the Mute button, the Dim button and the Channel Up/
Down buttons) can be programmed into a macro.
Processor Reset
If the AVR behaves erratically after a power surge, first turn off the rear-panel Main
Power switch and unplug the AC power cord for at least 3 minutes. Plug the cord back
in and turn the AVR on. If this procedure doesn’t help, reset the AVR’s processor as
described below.
NOTE: Use caution when programming complicated macros. It isn’t possible to program
a pause or delay before sending additional commands after a “Power On” command,
and the component may not be ready to respond to commands immediately after
powering on.
NOTE: A processor reset erases all user configurations, including video resolution,
speaker and level settings, and tuner presets. After a reset, reenter all of these settings
from your notes in the Appendix worksheets.
To program a macro:
To reset the AVR’s processor:
1. Simultaneously press one of the four Macro buttons, or the Power On button, and the
Mute button to enter the Programming mode.
1. Press the front-panel Standby/On switch to place the unit in the Standby mode (the
Power Indicator LED will turn amber).
2. Press in up to 19 commands that you want stored in that Macro button. Press the
Source Selector button for each device (or AVR button for the AVR itself) before you
enter individual commands. This step counts as one of the 19 commands allowed for
each Macro.
2. Press and hold the front-panel Surround Mode button for at least 5 seconds until the
RESET message appears on the front-panel Message display.
If the AVR does not function correctly after a processor reset, contact an authorized
Harman Kardon service center for assistance.Authorized service centers may be located
3. For the Power On command, DO NOT press the Power On button. Press the Mute
button instead.
4. Press the Power Off button to program the Power Off command.
5. Press the Sleep button to end the programming process.
Memory
If the AVR is unplugged or experiences a power outage, it will retain your user settings
for up to four weeks.
It isn’t possible to “edit” a command within a macro. However, you may erase the macro
as follows:
1. Simultaneously press and hold the Mute button and the Macro button containing the
macro until the Program Indicator LED flashes.
2. Press the Channel Down button to erase the macro.
To execute a macro, press the Macro button (or the Power On button) into which you
programmed the macro.

Note: The AVR is equipped with a total of three digital audio inputs. Certain digital audio connections are recommended simply because those digital audio inputs are assigned to those sources by
default at the factory. But any digital audio input may be reassigned to any source. Since you may not be using all of the AVR's sources, you may reassign a digital audio input that is recommended
for a source you aren’t using to another device. Table A1 is a guideline; you may need to make adjustments to fit your system.

Note: When any of the transport controls are pressed while the remote is in AVR or Video 2 mode, the remote will automatically switch to DVD mode, and the command will be applied
to the DVD player. If you then press a button native to the original mode, e.g., Volume Down for the AVR, the remote will revert to the original mode. See Remote-Channel Control
Punch-Through, on page 24, for more information.
